  • Publication number: 20230106433
    Abstract: An acrylic multilayer foil includes a layer in which silica particles are uniformly distributed in an acrylic polymer matrix and at least one further layer. Due to adhesive promoting properties of the layer containing silica particles, the multilayer foil can be easily coated or laminated onto a substrate. The foil has a high weathering resistance and excellent mechanical properties. Therefore, the multilayer foil is highly suitable for surface-protection of materials such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and for use in high-pressure laminates (HPLs).

  • Publication number: 20230100304
    Abstract: An acrylic multilayer foil includes a layer A in which silica particles are uniformly distributed in an acrylic polymer matrix and a coating layer D. Due to adhesive promoting properties of the layer A containing silica particles, the coating layer D can be advantageously applied onto the layer A. The foil has a high weathering resistance and excellent mechanical properties. Therefore, the foil is highly suitable for surface-protection of materials such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and for use in high-pressure laminates (HPLs).

  • Patent number: 11285708
    Abstract: Heat resistant brittle films can be made from impact-modified poly(meth)acrylimide, and forgery prevention labels can contain the heat resistant brittle films. The films can be advantageously prepared by extrusion and, depending on the desired purpose, can be designed to be transparent, translucent, or entirely non-transparent, e.g., white. Ideally, the brittle films and the forgery prevention labels containing the brittle films have no intended break points such as slits, perforation, etc.

  • Patent number: 10629098
    Abstract: The present invention relates to peelproof security films made from a poly(meth)acrylate, more particularly from a polymethyl methacrylate, which comprises at most 10 wt % of or no impact modifiers. These films are highly transparent, have good printability qualities, and can be applied without intended break points. The peelproof security films can therefore find use in particular in documents, such as passports, for example, in security labels, such as road tax badges, for example, or for product theft prevention, or as price tags. These security labels are further distinguished by good weathering stability and in particular by especially good UV stability. The present invention relates more particularly to the use of these security labels, which have a thickness of not more than 2 mm, comprise at least 80 wt % of polymethyl methacrylate and contain no impact modification particles.

  • Patent number: 10611130
    Abstract: An extruded matt foil has at least one layer in which glass beads are uniformly distributed in a polymer matrix with at least one fluoropolymer and at least one further layer. The matt foil has a particularly high UV-resistance, a high weathering resistance and excellent mechanical properties. Therefore, the foil is highly suitable for surface-protection of materials such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and for use in high-pressure laminates (HPLs).

  • Publication number: 20190083977
    Abstract: The present invention is in the field of medical diagnostics and microfluidics and primarily relates to a microfluidic device for the analysis of biological samples. The microfluidic device of the present invention comprises at least one microchannel, the inner surface of which is at least partially coated with a hydrophilic coating. This hydrophilic coating is located on top of the intermediate layer which, in turn, is located between the material of the inner surface of the microchannel and the hydrophilic coating.

  • Publication number: 20130059139
    Abstract: The invention relates to the production of a transparent, weather-resistant barrier film by lamination, extrusion lamination (adhesive lamination, melt lamination or hotmelt lamination) or extrusion coating. The film can also contain a scratch-resistant coating. For this purpose, two or more transparent film composites, which consist in each case of two externally disposed polyolefin or polyester layers which are in each case inorganically coated and glued to the inorganic layer on the inside, are connected to each other. Said composite is laminated with a weather-resistant, transparent film (e.g. PMMA or PMMA polyolefin coextrudate or PMMA polyester coextrudate). The inorganic oxide layers have the property of a high optical transparency while having at the same time a good barrier effect against water vapour and oxygen while the PMMA layer exhibits weather resistance stability.
